If you have an Intel Mac, you can get the best performance by installing Windows in Boot Camp.

This involves running Windows on top of macOS by virtualizing the hardware required to do so. Software installed in a virtual machine behaves as if it\u2019s installed natively on a Windows PC which means that compatibility is excellent, particularly in Windows 11.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a modern Mac model with an Apple Silicon chip (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/809540\/apple-m2-vs-m1-whats-the-difference\/\">M1, M2, and similar,) you will be limited to the Windows 11 on ARM release, which performs surprisingly well. This ARM version of Windows has compatibility with 64-bit apps written for the \u201cstandard\u201d x86 version of Windows, which means that Windows 11 on ARM can run almost any app you throw at it without experiencing much of a performance penalty.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-871510\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/windows_11_arm_mac_m1.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Windows 11 on ARM running in Parallels Desktop\" width=\"730\" height=\"445\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you have an Intel Mac, then you\u2019ll be able to run the more widely used x86 version of Windows in a virtual machine instead. You can also use virtualization to run other operating systems on top of macOS, including Linux distributions or other macOS installations.<\/p>\n<p>If you want the smoothest virtualization experience, you\u2019ll need to open your wallet. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/3607085\/type\/am\/sid\/187359-xid-{xid}\/https:\/\/www.parallels.com\/products\/desktop\/&amp;___trxnet=cj\">Parallels Desktop<\/a> will download, install, and set up Windows 11 for you in a matter of minutes. It also supports 3D acceleration for games on Apple Silicon, which other solutions lack. Check out our review of Parallels Desktop for more details. Other virtualization options include <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/imp.i263671.net\/c\/156932\/980242\/11461?subId1=htg&amp;subId2=187359&amp;sharedid=&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vmware.com%2Fproducts%2Ffusion.html&amp;subid3=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=ir\">VMware Fusion<\/a> (with a free version of VMware Fusion Player), VirtualBox, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mac.getutm.app\">UTM<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Virtualization is useful since you can just launch an app and have access to Windows in moments. Apps like Parallels have modes that allow you to effectively hide the Windows UI and use apps as if they were running natively on your Mac. Many virtualization apps don\u2019t require that you sacrifice disk space for your virtual machine, unlike a dedicated Windows installation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"admonishment_note\"><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> These virtual machine apps don\u2019t come with a Windows product key.

It works by translating Windows API calls in real time so performance in apps that use Wine is generally very good. That said, not all apps will work, and some will exhibit odd behavior. Apps are more likely to crash or behave in unexpected ways compared to virtualization or running Windows natively.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Wine might just be the solution you\u2019ve been looking for. You don\u2019t need to install Windows natively, which means you don\u2019t need to dedicate disk space to Windows or run additional virtualization software. Wine apps appear on your desktop and in your dock just like native Mac apps do.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-878132\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/wineskin_winery.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Wineskin Winery running on macOS 13 Ventura\" width=\"730\" height=\"485\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/winehq.org\">Wine project<\/a> is still under active development, but Mac packages are no longer maintained.

It is recommended that you install and maintain Wineskin using Homebrew, a package manager for macOS.<\/p>\n<p>You can easily install Homebrew on your Mac using a few Terminal commands. With that out of the way, install Wineskin by running the following in Terminal:<\/p>\n<p><code>brew install --cask --no-quarantine gcenx\/wine\/unofficial-wineskin<\/code><\/p>\n<p>This will install the Wineskin Winery app on your Mac, which you can then use to create wrappers and start installing Windows software.

Available with a free trial, CrossOver Mac costs $74 and walks you through the process of installing Windows software with installation profiles available for many popular apps. Where apps lack profiles, CrossOver can help you make your own.<\/p>\n<p>CrossOver is particularly popular among gamers who want to run Windows games on Apple hardware. CrossOver works on both Intel and Apple Silicon models, though Mac owners with Apple\u2019s ARM-based chips will (currently) need to rely on Rosetta 2, which can introduce a small performance penalty.<\/p>\n<p>You can use the free trial of CrossOver to test out any apps before you buy, and it\u2019s cheaper than buying a Windows license (or a premium virtualization tool like Parallels Desktop). You can use a single CrossOver license to run Windows apps on macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS too.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"IJfHQTAodjI\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/IJfHQTAodjI\/hqdefault.jpg');\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Boot_Camp_to_Install_Windows_on_an_Intel_Mac\"><\/span>Use\u00a0Boot Camp to\u00a0Install Windows on an Intel Mac<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/706226\/how-to-check-if-your-mac-is-using-an-intel-or-apple-silicon-processor\/\">have an Intel Mac, you can install Windows natively on your Mac using Boot Camp, Apple\u2019s dual-boot Windows partitioning tool.
